Madagascar: Ravalomanana studies power-share plan

Madagascan politician Marc Ravalomanana said on Tuesday he was considering a plan to end his power struggle with the Indian Ocean island's veteran ruler despite the failure of weekend peace talks. Ravalomanana held face-to-face discussions on Sunday with rival presidential claimant Didier Ratsiraka in Dakar, where five African presidents had hoped to broker an end to the crisis dividing the giant island.
